A set of vibrant dinner plates that once belonged to the bride's grandmother informed several registry selections. The couple brought one of the Greek key-patterned pink and gold dinner plates to Michael C. Fina, where they mixed and matched the heirloom with various china pieces and glassware until they achieved the perfect look.

Tools and design books dominate their selections: "We're just a back porch short of gutting our entire house, and are renovating nearly everything ourselves," Meredith says. "I'm so inspired by how people create their homes around their lives."
